Summary
The Ratepayer Bill of Rights Act of 2026 requires large data centers (those using at least 50 megawatts of electricity or 100,000 gallons of water daily) to publicly disclose their resource consumption, infrastructure costs, rate impacts, and public financial assistance. The bill establishes ten ratepayer rights, including prohibitions on shifting data center costs to other ratepayers, requirements for independent assessments of water and electricity reliability before service commitments, and mandatory public notice and meetings before final approval. Federal agencies (FERC, DOE, EPA, and DOL) are tasked with enforcement within their existing jurisdictions, while state and local authorities retain authority over utility rates, water rights, and permitting.
